Ttiger Posted March 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2008 I've got a 5-speed (FS5W71B) from a 280Z and I'm trying to get in to replace the front input shaft seal. I have removed the shift fork and all the bolts holding the front cover on. The cover won't budge! I didn't want to pry on it too much. Is there a secret to getting the cover off?

240znz Posted March 28, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2008 Sounds like the gasket is stopping it from separating. A few blows with a rubber mallet will get it free. Just move around the bell housing, therefore hitting it from all angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snag point Posted March 29, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2008 That is the way I've pulled the front cover on 3 trannys. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttiger Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted March 30, 2008 I'll try, but it's deep inside the bell housing so that makes it a bit hard to hit. It's a 5-speed so the bellhousing does not come off by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
